I get too lazy to type out “Japanese”. Did you know that Japan is called Nippon by the Japanese? So they are Nips and I don’t mean anything malicious.
as in>>
“Japan’s All Nippon Airways now in 10 North American cities”
Just saying.
There are undoubtedly people who will interpret that term negatively.
I just wanted to point that out. If you’ve going to use it, I just want to go on record opposed to its use.
I don’t think bashing the Japanese people will really contribute anything but riling up the opposition.
And yes, that is how I see the term. It’s to me, a holdout from when we were at war so long ago, and I really don’t think it has any place in a dignified discussion these days.
Just my opinion.
YMMV.
